Crushing hammers, cane knives, washboards, shredders, trash plates
and mill roll arcing are a few areas within a sugar mill that experience
significant wear. In most cases, demand on throughput outweighs the
need to do regular and ongoing maintenance.
It is vital to extract the most value out of each aspect and component
of an operation to stay competitive in an increasingly difficult local
and global market. A market leader in engineered wear protection,
UK-headquartered Welding Alloys has more than 40 years of
experience within the Southern African market.
Welding Alloys South Africa (WASA) works in partnership with
sugar producers to reduce their operating costs. This is done through
wear audits and market leading products, solutions and training. “Our
focus is to reduce the cost of ownership through extended component
life and reduced downtime and maintenance costs. With our years
of experience, we have tailor-made solutions to combat any wear
problem within a sugar mill. We use specialised welding equipment
and teams to do on-site refurbishment of worn components as well as
a full fabrication workshop for turnkey projects,” explains the company.
The WASA product offering includes flux-cored welding consumables
(manufactured in South Africa) for hardfacing, stainless steel and cast
iron, to name a few, that have the advantage of a higher deposition
rate to reduce downtime.
Also supplied are chromium carbide welded overlay liners, which
last five to ten times longer than traditional quenched and tempered
steels; ceramic tiles and lining materials; and specialised welding
equipment. WASA is ISO 9001- and ISO 3834-3-accredited.COMPANYPROFILE
